PROJECT TYPES
WORDS FROM CLIENTS
“Creativity meets execution”
I've had the pleasure of working with Mariëlle on multiple projects and thoroughly enjoy our collaboration. The most recent was a full renovation of an off-grid property — a complex project she managed with structure and a clear eye for the bigger picture. She combines creativity with the ability to actually get things done and always thinks in solutions. A reliable professional who delivers quality and takes responsibility.
“Clients noticed immediately”
Mariëlle created a stunning total design for our office villa in Amsterdam — from lighting to custom furniture, plants and art. She also managed the full realization, taking every concern off our hands completely. The result is a workplace that makes us happy every single day and regularly draws compliments from visiting clients. Our office now reflects exactly the quality and professionalism we want to radiate.
“Every wish understood”
Mariëlle helped us with the complete interior and lighting plan for our new-build apartment in Amsterdam. She listened carefully to our wishes while bringing creative, clear advice that elevated the design. Her way of working is highly professional — in service, accessibility and communication alike. She truly went the extra mile and delivered outstanding aftercare.
“Beyond interior design”
Mariëlle was invaluable during the large-scale renovation of our home in Amsterdam's Apollobuurt. From floor plan decisions and lighting to materials and color choices — she handled it all with exceptional clarity and follow-through. What truly sets her apart is that she also supported us in difficult conversations with contractors, where her background as a lawyer undoubtedly helped. The end result is beautiful and we are incredibly grateful.
“One vision, two tastes”
Bringing together two very different styles is no easy task, but Mariëlle managed to create a beautiful blend of materials and colors that worked for both of us. Where we felt lost in the endless possibilities, she provided clarity and a clear plan. She is a joy to work with — skilled, genuinely involved, and with just the right amount of humor and flair. Highly recommended!
“Exactly what we envisioned”
We approached Mariëlle for a complete concept for our living room and kitchen, and she immediately got to work with our ideas. She understood exactly what we wanted and translated it into a stunning design featuring a custom American walnut and travertine cabinet, a lighting plan, upholstery and furniture. Our tastes aligned perfectly and we are thrilled with the result.
